When John F Kennedy became president in 1961 , he did what all other president was trying to do , make the country the best & made sure no problems happened while he was in that spot . A good way he tried doing that was by protecting and fighting for equal rights. During that time Martin Luther King Jr was also trying to accomplish the segregation in Atlanta, Georgia. John Kennedy phoned Coretta Scott King to express his concern while a call from Robert Kennedy to the judge helped secure her husband's safe release.me problem , in the process of that mr.king had gotten arrested while leading the protest .Since mr.king was in jail for also trying to let african americans be free & live as equal citizens ,jfk tried his best to also to …show more content…
give african americans a better life & in that thanks more than 70% of african americans voted for kennedy . When President Kennedy took office in January 1961, African Americans had high expectations for the new administration. As mr.kennedy continues on & trying to make the country stay in well being .Mr.kennedy was trying to make americans see the bad of segregation & the african americans simply started getting tired of the wait but mr.kennedy kept going .
As he kept trying the more they got impatient so they took matters to them selves “Freedom Riders” they were called . Freedom riders were arrested in North Carolina and beaten in South Carolina. In Alabama, a bus was burned and the riders attacked with baseball bats and tire irons. Mr.kennedy said “ that major civil rights legislation would be submitted to the Congress to guarantee equal access to public facilities, to end segregation in education, and to provide federal protection of the right to
vote.”
As mr.kennedy was growing up his family was already rich , & as he grew older and started achieving things in his life people will make much more money from what they have earned . Since, he was trying to do the best thing for us americans & african americans he strived far and tried to make sure everyone was treated with respect and equality . A rich man , people with money sometimes don't know how to use it wisely , save it , put it to good use & that could have a reason why it also took him longer in giving african american equal rights . If you are a leader , you will have to stride bigger , think bigger , & think about how many people are following you . Mr.kennedy not have used his money wisely , if you are trying to help your country , with all your money wouldn't you help ? because if you ran for president that's what it's all about . It's not about just yourself or your wife & kids , now it's the country city & state's . Millions of people looking you & waiting for they want & the whole world works around money .
John Fitzgerald Kennedy is somewhat like every other president that all want the same thing ! To make sure the world alright but without killing themselves but sooner or later some may still be even killed . Mr.kennedy tried his hardest , kept fighting for what he believed in & at the end of it his life was at the line and there was no turning back to what decisions he took , what mistakes happen. He was just trying to help us , citizens of the united states . That's why i think president kennedy assassination was unjust .
